This Escalated Quickly

Liv tells a gloriously petty, painfully relatable story about trying to impress a date with a bougie aesthetic—by secretly borrowing a neighbor’s rare houseplant. What starts as a ridiculous flex becomes a full-blown comedy of errors: furtive plant care at midnight, inventing an elaborate plant-care backstory, dodging suspicious neighbors, and a disastrously timed ex who ruins the vibe. The episod...

I was going to my ex's wedding and, in peak 'move-on' energy, I rented a plus-one from an online gig site. What I expected: a charming arm candy who would sip politely and clap at the right moments. What I got: someone who treated the reception like an experimental performance piece, complete with interpretive gestures, an unsolicited toast that made everyone squirm, and a finale that involved a s...

Liv tells the full, sweaty-palmed story of the night she said yes to pretending to be a coworker’s fiancé at the office holiday party — and immediately regretted every life choice. Expect cringe wardrobe choices, a surprise appearance by an ex who didn’t get the memo, a passive-aggressive colleague who treated the evening like reality TV, a baffled CEO asking about wedding plans, and a cake cuttin...

This episode is a messy, laugh-out-loud monologue about the time Liv was accidentally added to her ex's family group chat and, for reasons she still can't explain, became the family's unofficial dating coach. I narrate the slow burn: first awkward hello messages, then passive-aggressive sibling banter, a parade of strangers sliding into DMs asking for advice, and finally a wild text that turned in...

Liv tells the ridiculous, painfully relatable story of the night she thought a fake accent would be the funniest confidence hack on a first date — and how that one improv decision metastasized into a week of impersonations, accidental internet clout, and several near-exposures. This monologue balances laugh-out-loud receipts (texts, moments of slapstick panic) with the quieter truth about why we p...

Liv narrates a wild, unfiltered monologue about hosting a moving/decluttering sale that becomes an accidental public roast. She planned a low-effort weekend cash grab, but the boxes of ‘weird junk’—old concert wristbands, a mysterious mixtape labeled with a crush’s name, a carelessly kept, embarrassing souvenir—ended up being literal receipts of past romances and decisions. An ex shows up, buys th...

I turn a dumb group chat dare into a full-blown disaster in this solo episode where oversharing meets modern chaos. After a booze-fueled bet to ‘delete someone’ from our phones, tiny choices cascade into missed flights, a cold-call from an ex who suddenly can’t find my number, and a neighbor who knew more about my dating history than I did. I narrate the receipts, the cringe texts, and the slow-mo...

Liv narrates a ten-minute, laugh-out-loud monologue about the time she unknowingly dated her own dog walker. She sets the scene with matchmaking app small talk, a cute first date that felt oddly familiar, and the creeping realization when the date referenced inside jokes only someone who'd regularly been in her life could know. Expect sarcastic best-friend commentary, cringe-worthy misunderstandin...

I thought ending a relationship could be theatrical, harmless, and closure-y, so I wrote a scavenger hunt breakup: clues at places we'd been, a playlist of passive-aggressive songs, and a final note where I planned to say goodbye. Naturally, it went sideways. Clues ended up in the wrong hands, a bystander livestreamed the meltdown, and my attempt at ‘creative closure’ became a 30-minute public spe...

I thought a collaborative playlist was the perfect low-effort way to prep for a friends’ weekend — everyone adds a few jams, ride vibes secured. Instead, one passive-aggressive addition became the opening move in a petty, escalating war: embarrassing throwbacks, betrayal bangers, and songs that were thinly veiled messages. In this 10-minute monologue I play the reluctant DJ turned chaos coordinato...

Liv admits she made a boring-seeming safety decision — she put her best friend down as her emergency contact — and then narrates the beautiful disaster that followed. Midway through a second date, her date nervous-texts the emergency contact for 'advice,' turning a safety gesture into a live coaching session where boundaries evaporate, passive-aggressive group texts flourish, and her friend’s well...

Liv answers a sketchy side-hustle ad promising easy cash and winds up as a rented plus-one at a glossy influencer launch party. She plans to smile, sip, and leave, but the client’s expectations—coordinated photo ops, on-the-spot captioning, and a manufactured ‘candid’ confrontation—escalate into full performative-relationship chaos. In this single-person confessional Liv serves sarcasm, cringe pla...

Liv revisits the most gloriously awful plus-one gig of her life: a ‘casual dinner’ that morphed into being dragged to her date’s ex’s wedding. Expect cringe hospitality, strained small talk with the bride's aunt who knows too much, an accidental toast that sounded suspiciously like sabotage, and a dance-floor moment that made everyone choose sides. This episode is a tightly paced monologue that ri...

Liv walks listeners through a painfully funny monologue about the time autocorrect turned a petty text into full-blown social demolition. Starting with a harmless gripe drafted for a friend, her phone chooses the wrong victim and sends a message that says far more than intended — to a crush, a coworker, or worse, a future in-law. Through vivid, self-deprecating details, Liv reenacts the keystrokes...

What starts as a private coping mechanism—giving terrible dates a star rating, Pros/Cons, and a sarcastic one-liner—quickly spirals when one date screenshots Liv's review, posts it, and attaches their own critique of her. In this monologue Liv walks listeners through why she began ‘reviewing’ humans (part comic relief, part emotional triage), reads the funniest and most embarrassing sample entries...

Liv confesses to building the ultimate dating escape hatch: a staged 'emergency contact' (a.k.a. my fake 'mom' call) that would swoop in and rescue her from any painfully awful date. What starts as a petty life-hack turns into a sitcom-level fiasco when the date actually answers, texts back, and tries to negotiate with the 'mom'—and Liv has to improvise a family she never signed up to play. Betwee...

Liv confesses a ridiculous experiment: she built a throwback, not-really-her-ex dating profile to test what the dating pool actually responds to. This episode is a single-person, hilariously honest monologue that walks listeners through the misdemeanor-level setup, the absolutely wild DMs and match messages, the one surreal near-date that proved everything, and the uncomfortable truths about baiti...

Liv confesses to an experiment that is equal parts petty and brilliant: when dating apps started feeling like job boards, she leaned in and made a real resume for romance. This episode is a fast, funny monologue that walks through crafting a dating CV (objective, skills, 'references' from exes), the cover letter that read like a breakup note, and the cringeworthy moment she turned a first date int...

I confess to starting a ridiculous, totally unserious office game where a few coworkers and I ranked petty categories—’most likely to steal your lunch,’ ‘best fake laugh,’ ‘serial GIF abuser’—all in a private chat. It was supposed to be a vent-and-laugh thing. Then someone forwarded screenshots to the company group thread. Suddenly I’m dodging HR-style questions, navigating passive-aggressive Slac...

Liv thought a silent retreat would be the perfect escape from texting drama, situationships, and the worst first-date energy. Instead she accidentally brings a very talkative dating-app match, an overzealous wellness instructor, and her loudest inner monologue. In ten minutes of unfiltered monologue she narrates the lead-up (including the group chat vote that decided the match), the arrival where...

What happens when you outsource your dating life to the people who send the most savage memes? Liv gives her friends full control for seven days: they pick her photos, write her bio, choose the opener texts, and even pick the outfit for the first date. This monologue stitches together the most ridiculous group-chat receipts, wardrobe disasters, accidental honesty, and one surprise-first-date that...
